History

The journal was established in 1964.[1][2] The publication has become more frequent in recent years:[4]

  • 1964–1965: Published once a year
  • 1966–1968: Published twice a year
  • 1969–2012: Published four times a year (with the exception of 2010, where there were five issues, one of which was a special supplement)

Publication model

Older issues of the journal are available via JSTOR[5] and Project MUSE.[6]

While published by Springer, Demography was a hybrid open access journal, charging subscription fees for access while offering authors the option of making their work available open access by paying an article processing charge.[7][8]

The journal was fully converted to diamond open access in 2021 when Duke University Press became its publisher. It relies on a community partnership model, in which libraries, research centers, academic departments, and other entities voluntarily contribute funds to cover publication costs. Demography no longer assesses article processing charges.[9]
